In case you didn’t know (despite the popularity of the television show), Telltale Games<\/a>, who brought us the recent Back to the Future and Jurassic Park games, are putting together The Walking Dead video game.<\/p>\n

In order to get players involved in even more of the action, the developers thought it would be a great idea to include players in the actual game.<\/p>\n

Players who pre-order The Walking Dead for PC or Mac, will be entered into a competition to stand the chance of winning the ultimate prize: being killed, twice.<\/p>\n

The lucky selected player will be digitized and included in the game series, and will then be transformed into a flesh-eating corpse to terrorize the game’s protagonists.<\/p>\n

Like Back to the Future, The Walking Dead video game will also follow an episodic format, with the first episode releasing later this month. Robert Kirkman, the original comic-book author off which the series and game is based on, said that The Walking Dead game will be unlike other zombie games – such as Left 4 Dead – and will instead focus more on characterization and emotion.<\/p>\n

Check out the video below and Telltale Games’ official website<\/a> for more details on becoming a virtual zombie:<\/p>\n
